I’ll pick Ace in any fight except against Anderson Silva, so I lean towards him. Still, that’s a fanboy call more than anything. I’m really going to have to think long and hard about this fight. IMO, these guys are pretty evenly matched, all things considered.

I can lay out many scenarios and all but a few have Franklin burying Le. Franklin should do nothing but use his reach advantage, pick Le apart from the outside and wait for him to gas late in the fight to finish the job. Forget about Le’s “defensive wrestling” …. Rich would be foolish to risk getting caught by a kick while going for a takedown.

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 22:56:02 +0000http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=67928#comment-228802Rich is likely one of the most cerebral fighters in the UFC, and he makes good points. Cung Le is not a traditional wrestler but Rich hits the mark. Like Chuck, to an extent, Le uses his confidence in his wrestling to complement his stand-up very well.

I was looking forward to this fight the first time it was announced and that has not changed. I’m a big Franklin fan, so I’m generally happy to see him step into the cage. With Le in there with him, this should be a great fight.
